1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

This study aims to analyze the etiology of nonspecific chronic cough in children of 5 years and younger, in order to improve the diagnostic and treatment levels of pediatricians for nonspecific chronic cough in young children.The clinical data of 85 cases of children of 5 years old and below, who suffered from nonspecific chronic cough between the period of January 2015 and August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.The etiology distribution of 85 cases of children with nonspecific chronic cough were as follows: 27 cases had cough variant asthma (31.8%), 32 cases had upper airway cough syndrome (37.6%), 16 cases had cough after infection (18.8%), 3 cases had gastroesophageal reflux cough (3.5%), 2 cases had allergic cough (2.4%), and 5 cases had unknown causes of cough (5.9%).The main composition ratio of the etiology of chronic cough in children of 5 years old and below is as follows (in sequence): upper airway cough syndrome, cough variant asthma, and post infection cough.
